The Alternative View

The K-league Kilt has been nagging me to write a review of Suwon FC’s season and my first season as a follower of a Korean team. In truth, I’ve sat down to start this on numerous occasions but as my dearly departed Granny used to say “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything…
